How do you prove Monty Hall problem?
If the car is behind door 1, Monty will not choose it. He’ll open door 2 and show a goat 1/2 of the time. If the car is behind door 2, Monty will always open door 3, as he never reveals the car. If the car is behind door 3, Monty will open door 2 100% of the time.
Who discovered the Monty Hall problem?
Steve Selvin

How to simulate the Monty Hall problem using Python?
Suppose the contestant chooses Door #1, then the host reveals Door #3 (the goat), since the host knows Door #2 contains the prize car. In this case it is good for the contestant to switch. If the contestant/player switches then the contestant would win the prize. If the contestant/player did NOT switch then the contestant would lose the prize.
What’s the logic of the Monty Hall problem?
The main logic in this program is that, after contestant picks the first door, the host will eliminate the door that was not picked by the contestant or the door that was the right answer. If the contestants first guess was the correct guess, the door chosen to reveal is a random process.
What are the doors behind the goats on Monty Hall?
